I think it is important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy…

It is these little things that I have come to appreciate more and more. Whether that thing is something someone said or did that made you smile, or just a song that makes you happy, it is these things that can make or break a day. It is time to start noticing and appreciating these things, because guess what…life really isn’t that bad! For instance, how great is it when you wake up before your alarm goes off and realize you have more time to sleep? Or when you’re fast-fowarding the DVR and you stop just as the commercials end, and you’re just like, “Am I the great or am I great?” And don’t try to pretend that you’re not filled with joy when enough people “like” your Instagram photo that it turns from names to numbers. Or how about when you get in your car and turn on the radio and your favorite song is just starting? You know you can’t help but dance and sing in your car like no one is watching. What about when you put your hand in your pocket and discover that there's money in there and you suddenly feel rich, even if it is just a dollar? Or…Popping bubble wrap? Warm clothes out of the dryer? Receiving a cute text from your crush? Random dancing? Rapping a fast part of a song like a beast? Taking off your shoes when you get home? Freshly shaved legs? Getting out of work early? Perfect summer days? Those cute puppy pictures on twitter? Knowing all the words to a song? Reading a good book? The feeling you get after a great work out? Being with friends and family? And the list could go on and on….

So with that being said, put your phone down for a while, take a walk, enjoy the company of the people around you, do something random and don’t be afraid. Even if that means you bring out your inner Beyonce and sing your heart out… if something makes you smile, then go for it! After all, it is the little things in life that can make your life so much more enjoyable! So take the time to appreciate these things that put a smile on your face! You’ll always find a reason to be happy, even if it’s only for a few minutes each day!
